Tape Wolf
I kept forgetting to post this:
This was recorded across two tapes, with the tracks laid out like so:
A tape:
1. click track (guide mix from B-tape)
2. Bass synthesizer
3. uWave saws
4. Mellotron (strings and choir punched in as needed)
5. Organ
6. Lead synth
7. Vocals
8. SMPTE
B tape:
1. (empty edge track)
2. Overdriven organ
3&4 (Pianos)
5&6 (Drums)
8. SMPTE
The vocals were recorded (and later re-recorded) in separate segments as different effects combinations were required. I believe I eventually rerecorded everything because I was not satisfied with the earlier take.
In fact, since I mixed this I rerecorded the first verse which is a little off-key in places.
As with basically all my music the whole lot was preprogrammed on computer and laid down track by track under timecode control using Rosegarden.
